What about this post on adafruit?

void loop() {
  if (digitalRead(touchPin) == HIGH)
  {
    sleepNow();
  }
  //run your light animation here
}

void sleepNow() {
    set_sleep_mode(SLEEP_MODE_PWR_DOWN);
    sleep_enable();
    sleep_mode();    //stop here while sleeping
    sleep_disable();  // resume here when woken
}
